<h2>Aside: Is it really safe to use an unreleased development version ofthe Fossil source code?</h2>Yes! Any check-in on the [/timeline?t=trunk | trunk branch] of the Fossil[http://www.sqlite.org/src/timeline | Fossil self-hosting repository]will work fine. (Dodgy code is always on a branch.) In the unlikelyevent that you pick a version with a serious bug, it still won'tclobber your files. Fossil uses several[./selfcheck.wiki | self-checks] prior to committing anyrepository change that prevent loss-of-work due to bugs.The Fossil [./selfhost.wiki | self-hosting repositories], especiallythe one at [http://www.fossil-scm.org/fossil], usually run a versionof trunk that is less than a week or two old. Look at the bottomright-hand corner of this screen (to the right of "This page wasgenerated in...") to see exactly which version of Fossil isrendering this page. It is always safe to use whatever versionof the Fossil code you find running on the main Fossil website.
